Two life sized mannequins, one male, one female were
made for a BBC documentary exploring the effect of hormones
within the human body. Anthropometric data was used to
manufacture patterns of the various body shapes, from which
clear vacuum-formed shells were produced. The transparent
plastic shells were assembled around multi-positional,
lockable joints; this enabled the figures to be set into
static yet dynamic poses. The figures contained models of
the key organs and glands to be found within the human
body. These were then filmed against a green-screen backing
with graphics indicating the flow of hormones and other
chemicals around the body.
